Excuse me but this is FUD ! SSG is certainly not propriatary in any reasonable man's vocabulary !! The sggestion that FGFS who's native format is SSG would be somehow limited by using the native SSG load function esp. given there is an 'editable' model in the format of the Editor application that created the model is 'bordering' on FUD. FWIW If and when FlightGear exchanges SSG for another internal SceneGraph I would suggest using that SceneGraph's native loaders also ! Perhaps we would all get along better if we only spoke Esparanto outside of our homes also :-) Merry Christmas all, Norman _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
